  And then again, perhaps it's because men have historically been called upon
to stand next to the drop forge, stoke the fires in boiler rooms, do welding
at 150 ft while standing on a legde the size of a toothpick, working a coal
vein at 1000 ft down, etc etc.

  Most of these jobs still lie within the realm of "man-only" work. I'm sure
that doing those sorts of things tends to have it's draw-backs (cave-ins,
collapse, etc etc). The lose of life in such circumstances would certainly
lower the average lifetime of men in general.
